Summary
"Organisational Behaviour in the AI Era: How Artificial Intelligence Is Reshaping Workplace Culture, Leadership, and Decision-Making"
Organisational Behaviour in the AI Era explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the psychology, ethics, and structure of human organisations in the twenty-first century. As intelligent systems reshape communication, leadership, motivation, and learning, this book offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolving relationship between technology and humanity in modern workplaces.
Dr. Mahmood Ahmed, a distinguished academic and thought leader in management and Islamic finance, presents a timely and thought-provoking analysis of how AI is changing not only how organisations function—but what it means to be human within them. Drawing from behavioural science, organisational psychology, digital ethics, and leadership theory, the book invites readers to reflect deeply on the balance between machine intelligence and moral intelligence.
Across twelve structured chapters, the book examines the full spectrum of AI-driven transformation:
The new dimensions of leadership and emotional intelligence in hybrid workplaces.
Shifting models of motivation, learning, and communication in data-driven organisations.
The ethical, social, and policy challenges of algorithmic governance and surveillance capitalism.
The emotional and spiritual renewal required to preserve human dignity in digital environments.
Each chapter blends classical theories—Maslow, Herzberg, Lewin, and Senge—with contemporary insights from AI research, psychology, and philosophy. Case studies, reflective exercises, and references to current policy frameworks (OECD, UNESCO, EU AI Act) make this book a powerful bridge between theory and practice, suitable for students, researchers, leaders, and policymakers alike.
The book concludes with a profound reflection on the human spirit in an algorithmic world. It argues that while machines can calculate, only humans can create, empathise, and flourish. The true frontier of organisational behaviour lies not in perfecting artificial intelligence, but in awakening human-centred intelligence—a synthesis of technology, emotion, ethics, and spiritual purpose.
Written with clarity, compassion, and scholarly depth, Organisational Behaviour in the AI Era offers a roadmap for building wise, ethical, and adaptive organisations capable of thriving in uncertainty. It is both a practical manual for digital transformation and a philosophical meditation on the moral meaning of work in an age of automation.
Whether you are a business leader navigating change, an academic exploring the future of management, or a policymaker designing ethical AI systems, this book will challenge your assumptions and inspire your vision for a more humane future of work.
Dr. Mahmood Ahmed (Nutun Karigor) writes thought-provoking books on ethics, faith, social justice, and leadership in the age of AI—bridging spirituality, economics, and human dignity to help readers think clearly, live meaningfully, and act responsibly.
